"The history of a city is the history of a nation." Ancient Xi'an is like a living history book, page by page and scene by scene, recording the vicissitudes and transformations of the Chinese nation. Ancient Xi'an witnessed the prosperity of the "Rule of Wen and Jing," the "Rule of Zhenguan," and the "Kaiyuan," yet the former Chang'an City, where emperors once dreamed of lasting peace and stability, also experienced decline, suffering repeated devastation and heart-wrenching setbacks. This book is part of the "Ancient Capital Xi'an" series, focusing on historical changes and development, presenting a three-dimensional and panoramic view of Xi'an's history, making history more accessible and imbued with rigorous scientificity, extensive knowledge, and artistic appeal.
